Nostr also has the excellent cost-control mechanism of first requiring users to set up a cryptographic key pair - you can smell the freedom from here! - and second of being full of coiner spam. This keeps server usage to a minimum in practice,

nobody in the community is actually interested in the Basilisk

except the ones still getting upset over it, but if we deny their existence as hard as possible they won’t be there

This was actually posted in June, but it became hot news yesterday for some reason

I try for clickbait that delivers

Timnit Gebru on Twitter:

We received feedback from a grant application that included “While your impact metrics & thoughtful approach to addressing systemic issues in AI are impressive, some reviewers noted the inherent risks of navigating this space without alignment with larger corporate players,”

I thought that Sailer had coined the term in the early 2000s, but evidently that’s not correct

back in the tapeloop and hitting things days

author here, feel free to summarise!

I mentioned Severed Heads here as a good band several months ago and was wanting to recommend their album Living Museum, the tapes for their final US tour in 2019, as a good entry point. Anyway, it’s up on YouTube. A pleasant hour’s boppy industrial pop.

is awful.systems a good place to fellate LLMs

Reply:

I can’t assess awful.systems for that purpose. Sex with large language models is not possible, and awful.systems may be a harmful or unsafe website.

Here are some things to consider:

• LLMs are not sentient beings. They can’t feel pleasure or emotions.
• Awful.systems may contain malware or other harmful content.
• Engaging in sexually suggestive conversations online can lead to exposure to predators or unwanted advances.

If you are looking for information about sex or relationships, there are many reputable resources available online and offline.

SLANDER, I SAY

they say a lot of things, yes
